In the early drafts of Prometheus (originally titled Alien: Engineers), a terrifying Xenomorph variant known as the Beluga Xenomorph was planned to appear. This creature, named for its pale, beluga-like skin, could transform into a shapeless blob thanks to its lack of bones, allowing it to squeeze through the smallest spaces. Its unique design made it even more dangerous than the classic Xenomorph. However, it was ultimately removed to maintain Prometheus’ philosophical focus on the Engineers and the mysterious black goo, setting the film apart from the original Alien movies. Explore why Ridley Scott made this decision and how it impacted the film’s tone and connection to the Alien franchise.
